West Adelaide could have an unchanged line-up against North on Sunday despite losing to the Eagles in Round 1.Possible debutant Lachlan Ryan (21, 188cm and 84kg) has been named on the extended interchange bench along with Jack Evans.But new coach Gavin Colville could opt to keep his side settled by not making any adjustments ahead of the Round 2 clash with the Roosters.

I have followed Westies for 55 years and today is the worst performance I have ever witnessed.

To use the words, INSPID,WOEFUL,DISGRACEFUL and PATHETIC is an INSULT.

We have finished at the bottom of the table for the past two years and our RECRUITING during this period has been very very POOR.We have lost a number of players from our midfield and they haven't been replaced.

I understand we are on reduced salary cap, however so are Glenelg and this year they have signed, White,Motlop,Reynolds and Ubergang.We signed Beech and according to his Uncle last week he was always coming back to us.

I too have been watching us for 50 years and cannot remember a more inept performance than this and there have been a few. Our play from kick outs was that predictable that North players were cueing up just waiting for the turnover. Poor decision making resulted in players nearly always being under pressure. Poor ball disposal by hand and foot also responsible for this. A lack of accountability in picking up players meant that North was not often under pressure. Relatively easy set shots never on line. We have too many players around the ball which causes congestion and makes it difficult to win a clean possession. This allowed North to have players on the outside ready to receive and move the ball forward. In fact we could not have made it any easier for North. This was a team that was beaten comprehensively last week and finished bottom last year. Next week is massive for us. I can't see how confidence can be restored in a week. Not a lot of Red and Black there today. Even fewer next week. I never leave before the final siren, but today was an exception. 19 to 1 at 3/4 time was just more than I could bear. My decision to leave early was justified by a putrid last quarter. Our trial form looked OK. What has happened?

i think it all starts from higher places then reflects on coach then players. They hear of all the rumours going around the Club that all is not well.If what i have said is banned for 3 mths as usual i will PM people.Heads have to roll.ASAP

x eagles players as coaches of this club ( the weed ) failure, now colville, doesn't look good for the rest of the year another wooden spoon no wonder silverlock left, players getting suspended in trial games .Team photo players missing some not even wanting to be in it wheres the discipline, how about putting in for us loyal supporters guys. Ill drive from Morphettvale next week to Elizabeth show us bloody something.

I think the players have to get of their arses.....17 of them had 15 touches or less today.

We are at rock bottom as a football club.Not sure where we go from here.... :

Recruiting has been a disaster. At this level of football, you have to have recruits that can play league footy straight away or there is no point getting them.

Glenelg, North, Norwood and The Eagles did..

Why do we move the ball from side to side and close to the boundary line???With the out of bounds rule, it is ridiculous. We never use the corridor.To many players run only one way. Football today is all about team defence.Too many players don't run hard enough.
